After the trailer was released, the overall response was very good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For special effects, the realism of the battle is becoming more and more demanding, which is the same demand of audiences in any country in the world.

Long gone are the days when an explosion could thrill the audience, and exaggerated and imaginative special effects are becoming popular.

More senior viewers have real requirements for special effects and realism in the battle process.

At this point, any viewer who has watched the trailer of "Tales of the Night" has to admire Ning Yun's skills.

The whole process of Serena jumping from the top floor, the speed of the werewolf running on the street, every turn, every movement, is so real and believable.

Many viewers are curious, this kind of shot looks too incredible, how did Ning Yun shoot it and how did he achieve it?

Do you use special effects all the time? Like Nancy's fight with sharks in Shark Beach?

Or is there some other particular way?

Just twelve hours later, the discussion is still hot, and a new behind-the-scenes production special is live.

First up was Miss Kate Beckinsale's presentation.

She was sitting in a chair, facing the camera, behind which was the filming set, where the crew was resetting.

"Magical experience like never before!"

"During the filming of this film, there were many difficulties. You know, I've made a lot of films before, but I've never had a challenge like this. ”

"In the traditional field of action scenes, there is very little special effects involved. Mainly the simple part of the post-production work, erasing the coercion line, adjusting the color, controlling the speed, etc. ”

"The main work of the action scene is done by the actors and the action director. Some directors who are not good at action scenes will be handed over to a special action director to shoot. ”

"In this film, almost all of the action scenes were shot in front of a green screen. There are more and more films like this. However, the biggest difference in this film is that director Ning Yun specially made a mechanical simulation software for the authenticity of the action, simulating the physical collision in the action scene, integrating factors such as speed, strength, and materials. ”

The camera cuts to Miss Beckinsale, dressed in an ultra-tight skin-like garment, 3D scanning in front of a complex machine.

A 3D model of her appearance appears on the computer.

It's real, if it's not the wrong color of the skin, it really feels a little naked.

"As you can see, my body shape data has to be entered into the computer. In fact, every actor who has an action scene has to go through this process. ”

The 3D model shows different areas on the body.

"Bones, muscles, fat, the center and center of gravity of the body, all have calculations. This model is more than just a façade. Set me, that is, the heroine in the film, the muscle strength of the blood Serena, the muscle stretching amplitude, nerve conduction velocity, the endurance of the bone material in different directions, the resistance of different body parts, and the ability to resist deformation. ”

"Through a series of complex settings, it was possible to calculate the speed that Serena could achieve, and calculate the force of her strikes in different situations. The posture of the body at different speeds, the state of inclination, the central position, the stability, and even whether it will be injured. ”

"In the physics simulation, there is also the environment part. For example, the bearing capacity of different walls, the material, and the way of damage after damage. The friction of the ground, the effect on the human body. ”

"Anyone with driving experience knows that you can't drive fast on very narrow tires. It's the same with human beings, you can't run extremely fast with a simple pair of feet and ordinary shoes. ”

"An interesting place to ......"

The screen shows Serena's unrivalled slender legs.

A chuckle came: "Look at the shoes!" ”

"Many viewers will complain that so many women in action movies and superhero movies like to wear high heels. Any viewer who knows a little bit about high heels, especially women, knows how difficult it is to do a lot of action in high heels. Every girl has to go through a difficult adaptation period, a practice period, in order to master the balance of wearing high heels. ”

"For every half-inch increase in the heel, the difficulty increases tenfold! Ha, don't believe it, this is what I said nonsense. But the girls understand. ”

"Even female superheroes who surpass human beings may need to spend a lot of thought and time if they want to master the technique of high-heeled combat."

"Serena's shoes don't have a high heel and a special design that increases friction, all for flexibility. As close as possible to a real combat situation. ”

The screen shows the mechanism hidden in the shoe.

"In the feature film, these designs are not shown, and this is background information. However, in a few action shots, the attentive viewer may notice a different picture in a flash. ”

"As for why not use flat heels, spikes. It's about Serena's personality, and the rules of the Bloodline. It is a consideration of etiquette and beauty. It is known that the nobleman is an animal who has to tidy up his clothes and smile even when he dies, and the blood clan is very similar. ”

"With shoes like this, Serena can do a lot of reasonable actions beyond humans, otherwise some viewers seem to be able to do actions that every super influence, in computer simulations, can't pass."

"Fundamentally, it's a very complex system, and I heard from people in the tech department that it takes several server clusters to run."

"Based on the calculated position, posture, we shoot action scenes. So every picture you see will feel very cognitive. It's the credit of the calculations, it's the math. ”

"Maybe some people don't know, the director has a Ph.D. in computer science and a Ph.D. in mathematics, I guess these shouldn't be too difficult for him, right?"

"Privately, I think Ning Yun was right to give up mathematics and computer science to be a director, obviously in directing movies, he is more talented, maybe the acting is better. This sentence will be cut, right? Well, that's good. ”

"All the combat moves are simulated by the computer, according to each human, or one of the werewolves, the blood clan. According to their different physical speeds, habits, and practiced skills, a whole set of complex combat processes is generated. ”

"So we don't know the action, the computer is our action director. It's our AI director. ”

The screen shows a battle between several human 3D models.

It's very clear, very close to the actor himself, and you can even see Serena in the middle, and the others are Shuri Ueno and Ha Jung-woo.

"Just looking at the graphics, it's kind of like a game, you agree? The difference is that the ability value of each human being, the body's endurance is not fixed, there is a range range, which can be adjusted and even increase the process of explosion. Each battle scene is simulated with hundreds of different scenarios. ”

"The biggest workload of the staff is to choose the best ones from the many options. We actors also have a choice. It's a dazzling array of powers. ”

"Not so long ago, it was all motion direction work, but now it's in the hands of the computer. You're right, the rest of the crew is still the old way. ”

The scene returns to the shooting scene, in front of the green screen, Miss Beckinsale has a complex coercion hanging from her body.

There are connected lines horizontally, vertically, obliquely, and even underfoot.

"Don't think that with computer-generated movements, actors' performances are easy."

"Unfortunately not, it's more complicated and it's harder to do."

"You often see in other movies that a human fighting with a knife, or a person with superpowers, can't even lift a knife steadily, and you can see the shaking of the blade on camera."

"There is often a supposedly marksman, a spearman, whose muzzle swings far more than necessary. Everyone who has watched the Olympic shooting competition knows what the real situation is. ”

"In this movie, even a veteran moviegoer with obsessive-compulsive disorder would never see that kind of situation."

"But this is a kind of torture for us actors. All the action is continuous, and it is impossible to shoot in one pose at a time. Director Ning Yun doesn't like sharp editing, and our set of actions is often very complicated, and we can't do it well after practicing for a long time. ”

"At this time, more complex coercion assistance is needed to ensure that the movements are qualified and beautiful, and also to ensure the stability of each posture."

"I'm lucky that I have some dancing skills that keep my movements natural when they're beautiful. Seriously, it will be painful for an actor who previously lacked this practice. For example, Miss Shuri Ueno in Japan found Director Ning Yun several times and cried......"

At this point, the camera is abruptly cut off, and Miss Tree's face is revealed.

"What do you say? No, of course not. ”

Ms. Shuri speaks in English that is much more fluent than the Japanese, but still a little difficult to understand.

I don't know if it's discrimination or kindness.,Anyway, it's different from just now.,Add subtitles below.。

"Sorry, sorry, she's kidding, I have been practicing yoga every day, since I was a child."

"The atmosphere of the crew is very good, and we actors are very good friends with each other."

"Yes, this experience was also unusual for me. I have never experienced such a shoot in Japan. Hollywood, they say, doesn't either. This is a warm crew, and everyone's relationship is more like family. ”

"Haha, you're right, often on vacation!"

"It's impossible for the director to play, and it's impossible for him to be unable to shoot. There must be something very important, right? I do not know. Let me guess? Well, maybe it's ready to put a big message? ”

"It's really not easy to get an action scene, and luckily every one of our actors managed to conquer it."

"I think attentive viewers can pay more attention to the acting aspect, and the director has helped me a lot. This is not a pure popcorn movie, and every actor is seriously figuring out their role. ”

"As you see in the news, we're going through a painful psychological transition."

"No, it's not that kind of pain, it's that you have to think of yourself as a non-human."
